Today I, surprise surprise, let myself get swallowed by the idleness of procrastination. This morning felt like a dream, like I did not exist, and I know that one day I will just disappear and everything will feel soft and muffled, warm and peaceful.
Tomorrow I really need to do finally do homework, or I will not be able to finish all of it in time. I wonder why it’s necessary to do it, at the end of the day it is not like I will need most of these things in life. Maybe I’m too much of a nihilist, and I should appreciate learning and studying just for the sake of acquiring new knowledge. Truth is, I love learning. But I do not love learning anything. I like Science, knowing how the universe and our bodies work. i like History, reading about past events that shaped the world. I like Literature, or maybe I just like reading, and I like Greek and Latin too, although they are so much work. I hate Math though.
I bought three face masks today. My skin is one of my biggest insecurities - my teeth (it angers me to say this because I wore braces for two years) still make me insecure too, and so does my body. I hate having a physical form.
Halsey today released merch for her first album, Badlands. It is one of my favourite albums ever, it just means so much to me since it was one of the first LPs that connected with me. I really wanted to get a t-shirt, but my parents said no because the price and the shipping was too expensive. It made me sad, to be honest. They think it’s not worth it because, to them, it’s just a t-shirt, while to me it represents all that I connect to Badlands.
I think I am too attached to physical things. My room is not messy, but at first, to a stranger eye, it might look like it because it’s just so full of things. My walls are covered in photos, instant photos mostly - which, by the way, sometimes feel depressing because they rarely show someone I love or who loves me; it just shows that I am lonely -, piles books are everywhere because I have no space for them, three pencil holders are completely full with stationery. Everything is just so colorful that sometimes it feels suffocating. But I like it. It makes me feel full.
Seeing the hundreds of books I’ve read somehow validates my enjoyment in reading. The hundreds of photos are a poor attempt to remind myself I have been outside of my house. I also own some CDs, not as many as I wish because they are expensive, and although I never play them, I love them.
Since I was a child, I have always been obsessed with things. I collected Pokémon cards, rocks, pins. At one point I even collected empty bottles and cans, of drinks that were and are not common in Italy. I just really like owning things, they make me feel full, real. In the back of my head, a voice tells me it is wrong. I wish my brain did not react so well to what Lorde calls “the little bright things that I bought.”

A person’s actions may be a result of careful thinking;
they may be a wim based on precursor principles and ideas,
although they might just as well be without a meaning.
A shell.Or not?
A wall.Or not?
Ensuring the groundwork behind every action should be the first priority.
None can be commenced whenever it is missing the meaning that should be conveyed.
However fundamental I regard this notion to be,not many do so nowadays.
Therefore I am left wandering about whether the meaning I see is real or made-up by my own beliefs,thoughts and needs.
Humans can be rather imaginative when it comes to deciphering the smallest of actions.
Nothing is almost ever delivered in its integrity,
May it be for fear of giving away the true meaning and reason they formed in their minds;
Or for a specifically intended reason,which,for all intents and purposes,is intangible.
Do you know what I mean when I say that sometimes I don’t have any feelings or emotions? I’m not in a good mood, or a bad mood. I just sit there, by myself, and think. I over think sometimes. I think about what has happened, what will happen, and what could have happened. I think about you, I think about what’s wrong in my life, I think about how I can get myself out of this stage, I think about why I got here in the first place. I think about everything and anything.
The fact that you can feel so strongly for someone but they never have to feel the same. The fact that you can love and want only one person and they don’t have to feel the same. The fact that you can miss someone so much your heart aches for them, yet they can be fine without you
I think it’s one thing to be born a pessimist and have heartbreaking experiences that confirm your doubts.
I think it’s a second thing to be born a realist and have heartbreaking experiences that hurt, but not in ways that aren’t foreseen.
I think the it’s a much different thing to be born an optimist and to have heartbreaking experiences that tear down your hope and alter your expectations.
I think the pessimist comes out, not much different, but with better understanding of the world and its cruel sentences.
I think the realist comes out a little different, with cosmic changes in strength and compassion.
I think the optimist, most of the time, is broken into an entirely new human being.
damn baby you are beyond mortal comprehension, wanna make me insane?

There are two thing you can't fake or hide: the look in your eyes and your heartbeat.
May it be because they are connected to your spiritual self or because of a scientifically proven phenomenon,the true you knows that they will always be true.
They are truths that do not need to be proven.
They can't be concealed and you can't stop them from being conveyed to others.
It flows through that thin connection that surrounds us all and does not pass unobserved.
This allows you to let your trust reside in someone.
To let your emotions run freely.
To give it your all.
People are not made up of only one self,unfortunately.
As much as those things are true,they reflect the true essence and feelings of only one of their selves.
Their others selves are not obliged to uphold those truths.
Believe in them and believe in yourself as well. Good will surely come from it.
